If you want to do this, look at guppi2/src/libguppi/fixedtip.[hc] - this
is a tooltip-like thing, but you control its location and visibility
manually.

Gnumeric also has such a thing.

It sounds like a GtkScale, GtkSpinButton, or GtkCalendar might be more
appropriate for getting a numeric value from a user though.
